To this end, the OJK has compiled and launched a book titled "Understanding Carbon Trading for the Financial Services Sector" as part of its commitment to strengthening Indonesia's green economy ecosystem and low-carbon development.
"Today's book launch is part of the efforts to broaden understanding and increase the capacity of financial services sector actors regarding carbon trading in Indonesia," Siregar remarked.
The book covers several topics, including the policy framework, regulations, and institutions for carbon trading, as well as the mechanism for carbon trading, including potential challenges and risks, and the strategic role of the financial services sector.
